You can find the list of supplies that I’ll be using for this angel down below.
1. One pine cone dripping garland from our website
2. One 8 inch doily from our website
3. Sherpa blanket from Five Below
4. Surebonder fabric glue
5. Hot glue
6. Cardboard
7. Poly-fil stuffing
8. X-acto knife
9. Scissors
10. Light Buttermilk acrylic paint
11. Ribbon
12. Paint brush
13. Angel wing appliqué from our website
14. Wire
The first thing you’ll want to do is trace the angel wings onto a piece of cardboard.
Once you’ve got the wings traced, go ahead and grab your X-Acto knife to carefully cut them out.
Next, paint the cardboard with a coat of Light Buttermilk acrylic paint.
I went ahead and painted both sides of the cardboard, and once the paint is completely dry, you can glue the wing appliqués right on.
After finishing the wings, it’s time to create the angel’s head. I’m using a cozy sherpa blanket from Five Below, but you can use whatever fabric you like best.
Lay the doily on top of your folded fabric with the good sides facing in. Then, use a marker to trace right around the edge of the doily.
The next step is to cut out your circle. Once it’s ready, add a little bit of Surebonder fabric glue around the edge.
Apply glue around the edge of the bottom fabric piece, working in small sections so it’s easier to manage. Lay the top fabric piece over the glue and gently pinch the two layers together as you go.
Be sure to leave about a two-inch opening so you can add the stuffing and tuck in your greenery drop.
Turn the fabric inside out, then go ahead and add your stuffing.
Once the stuffing is in place, go ahead and tuck the greenery drop right into the opening.
Use the wire ends to twist together and create a little hanger for your angel.
The next step is to glue the doily right onto the angel’s head.
Add a bit of glue to the back to attach the wings securely in place.
I finished mine off with some ribbon and a bling embellishment—this part is totally optional, but it adds such a pretty touch! You can find the ribbon on our website by clicking the link below.
This angel is so simple to make, and it’s sure to look beautiful anywhere in your home. I hope you’ll get creative and give it a try!
